Two Men Killed at a Fire.

PORTSMOUTH, o., Dec. 7.-At midnight
last night an alarm of fire sounded calling
the department to Anderson's flour mill,
on Fourth street, near Market. A second
and third alarm followed, calling every
volunteer company to the scene. The fire.
mems efforts to subdue the flames were in
vain, hence only adjoining buildings were
looked after. Company No. l, with col
ored volunteers, were stationed in the
alley, when, without the least warning,
the west wall caved in. A terrible cry
arose from the multitude, for it was be-
lieved that terrible work must have been
done, and SO it proved, for at o'clock this
morning the following were taken from
the ruins M. II. Anderson, proprietor OF
the mill, died this morning. William Simp-
son, killed; George Grns, leg broken and
internally injured; Frank Pagan, back
broken; John Adam, colored, both legs
broken; John Scott, colored, internal in
juries Pipemnn Metzger, with wonderful
presence of mind, jumped through win
dow and was slightly bruised. The
loss is about $4,000; insured for $1,000.
The mill was built by J. F. Towel thirty
five years ago as Il warehouse. 1t was con-
demneu twenty years ago as unsafe.

diately send their addresses to Albert

Not So Warlike.

PEsTIr, Dec. 0.-In the best informed CIR
cles the situation arising from the re-en-
forcement of Russian troops in Poland is
not regarded as portending immediate
danger Nothing more will be done be-
yond the sending of a warning to Russia
that Austria is watchful and will not leave
unanswered any further military meas
ures that Russia may take. Austria will not
precipitate counter measures, because she
does not desire to leave Russia without u
loophole, or to give her retreat the appear
ance Of being due to Austrian menace. 1t
is expected that Austria will grant to Rus
sia brief delay for furnishing a sponta-
neous explanation of the massing of her
troops. Meanwhile Austrian preparations
will quietly continue. The press regard
matters in q perfectly calm spirit.

Mortal Combat.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Dec. 9.-Miss Ver-
mona Baldwin, who gained some notoriety
not long ago by her attempt to shoot Lucky
Baldwin, whom she claimed as q relative,
and who, she says, betrayed her, has again
attracted attention to herself by sending
challege to mortal combat to young
Hearst, editor of the Examiner and son Of
United States Senator Hearst Hearst pub
lished an article in the Examiner refecting
somewhat upon Miss Baldwin, and she
replied with challenge, after having
designated him as ''mean coward" In
her challenge she says: II dare you to
meet me on the Mexican frontier with re-
peating rifles. would willingly pay all
expenses, but, having no funds, am COM
PEELED to ask you to defray them. Twill
permit you to choose your own seconds in
San Francisco, while / will wait until l get
to Mexico, where l will have no difficulty
in finding real gentlemen" Hearst has
paid no attention to the challenge, and in

BUILT ON QUICKsAND.
Portions of the Masonry of the
Kansas City Reservoir
Dropping Out of sIght-Great Alarm Felt
for the Water supply.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Dec. 1.-TWO hum
dred and thirty feet of solid masonry, Mt
no place less than twenty feet in width
and of depth of fifty feet, disappeared
last night 1t was a portion Of the out
wall of one Of the portions Of the vast
reservoir at Quindaro of the National
watcr-works of this city. The sinking OF
this vast pile Of stone into the ground
has revealed tho fact that tho whole
reservoir has been built on quicksand. The
reservoir occupies an old channel Of the
Missouri river. When constructing 1t the
quckstand was struck ut n portion of tho
work, but an artificial bottom was arrang-
ed, and it was supposed that all future
trouble was obviated. Now the theory Is that
the qucksand underlies the whole reser-
voir, and that it is slowly, but surely, giving
away, and that at no distant day the whole
thing will drop out Of sight, without any
regard for the five years of constant labor
and worry or the 81, 800, 900 spent upon it.
The water company is greatly alarmed,
and the city is worried by the possibility
of being deprived of it's drinking water
and being crippled as to its ability to ex-
tinguish tres.

eighteen, were overcome by smoke and
burned to death. The father and daughter
were badly burned, but it is thought
they will recover from their injuries. As
the nearest farmhouse was about three
miles distant, there was no chance of res
cue, and the frenzicd father was compelled
to stand hopelessly by and see his wife
and loved ones perish in the flames. This
morning the ruins were searched by q
party of men, but nothing was found ex-
cept few charred bones, which could not
be recognized or identified as those of hui
man beings. 1t is thought Mr.. Harris will
